The Pis broken USB cannot handle the easycap, just search the forum for it. This is correct for stk1160 based capture devices especially as the driver only enables captures at 720x480 for NTSC and 720x576 for PAL. However with em28xx based capture devices you can select many more frame sizes. Using...

Hi I'm trying to capture audio from a video capture card on a Pi 2 The following works perfectly and I can play the recording back with aplay arecord -d 30 -c 2 -D plughw:1,0 -v -r 48000 -t wav -f S16_LE -M record.wav However if I attempt the simplest capture using the same device with avconv as des...

No visible improvement on stk1160 Video grabber. Hi Defiant, What command are you using to perform the capture? I've got a em28xx device that I can test for comparison, although I have a feeling that it's just the sheer amount of data that is the issue now. What percentage of CPU is the command con...

I can stream over a cross-over Ethernet cable to my desktop, but I have corruption in the video stream no matter what c920 resolution I choose. Same problem if I record to the sd card. I had the same issue with the c920 streaming H.264 however the new FIQ_FSM USB driver appears to have fixed it. Se...

The BRANCH=next firmware now includes support for FIQ acceleration of high-speed isochronous transactions. jdb, Thanks for the work on this. I've now tested this with the Pi capturing, and streaming, H.264 video from a Logitech c920 webcam. Previously streaming H.264 video using the c920 produced a...

I suppose it would be possible to reverse-engineer the I2C controls and CSI timing ofthe PiCam and make the HDMI capture pretend to be a PiCam so that no Pi software is required. If that can be done then raspivid will capture from it.I can imagine there might be a lot of things to reverse engineer ...

Hi - great little utility, thank you fbutler! It did not work at first for me. It turned out that the android WoL utility I am using sends 108 bytes but wol-relayd.c checks for the byte count to be exactly 102 bytes. I modified it to demand at least 102 bytes, and ignore any excess. pj I'm glad you...

Since the video recording stopped abruptly does that mean the problem is with the sending pi? Thanks again for all the help. No, that just means it gave up because it couldn't connect to the receiving Pi. That's why you run the command on the receiving Pi first. The command on the receiving Pi sits...

I've installed ssmtp and mailutils and recreated your setup using my gmail account, and I can send without any issues. However if I change my password to an incorrect password in the ssmtp config file I get exactly the same error message as you. This does suggest there is something incorrect in the ...

Yeah, i can login to webmail just fine... Could this have anything to with my port choice or ISP? I can't find anyone else with the same error. Are there any alternatives to SSMTP? I've tried Exmi4, but couldn't end my messages for some reason. No, I don't believe so. That error message is coming f...

GStreamer 1.0 Packages have been updated to 1.0.7, but that will not fix above problem. This will have to wait until the official 1.0.8 release. So does a new version of gst-omx which depends on new gst-plugins-bad. For info a new development release, GStreamer 1.1.1, is now available.The release a...

thanks that worked! used the june 4th version .. very surprised at how small it was! one other thing.. why did my search on the upper right of the page for weston-launch not return anything here? ... That would be because the comment was in the comment thread for this Raspberry Pi announcement here...

so I've loaded the 5-25 image of raspbian and it works fine and I do see that weston is already @ most current level. tried weston-launch but get command not found.. I don't see any hits for weston-launch when I do a search.. what am I doing wrong here? thanks. See here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/...

Thank you! I followed the readme instructions and I no longer get the permissions error. When I execute the nc -p 5001 -l > buffer | /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video/hello_video.bin buffer command it appears to running, but there is no video or even words like "buffering "10%" or something like tha...
